Hurricanes get two big football commitments

Canesport and InsidetheU.com are reporting that UM has received verbal commitments from Miami Northwestern quarterback Terry Bridgewater and receiver Eli Rogers.
Bridgewater, listed as 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, threw for 32 touchdown passes last season and was considered at the top of UM’s wish list in the class of 2011.Teddy Bridgewater might be UM's future quarterback. (Miami Herald)

Bridgewater told Canesport that he had known “for a long time” that he wanted to be a Hurricane.

“I want to be an All-American, try to break records, win the Heisman and win a national championship,” Bridgewater told the on-line site.

Rogers caught 35 passes last season and scored 12 touchdowns. UM coach Randy Shannon said recently that the receiver position is a main focus in the 2011 recruiting class.

Rogers said he still intended to take other visits.

Bridgewater is No. 112 in ESPNU list of the nation Top 150 high school prospects. Rogers is No. 118.

Of course expect the Turd droppings to start flowing on this set of kids…”we didn’t want them…they’re no good…he’s skinny like Jacory…blah, blah, blah” Get used the the State of Miami fence going back up Turds. With Randy’s extension we’ll be solid again for a long, long time.

SEC commissioner Mike Slive said Friday the conference will distribute a league record $209 million in revenue to its 12 members. Each school will get a $17.3 million chunk of that money.

It marks a massive increase over last year’s total of $132.5 million.

The revenue is derived from television contracts and ticket sales.

Those totals do not include bowl money or local TV contracts.

For comparison, here is the amount distributed over the past three decades:

2009: $132.5 million
2008: $127.6 million
2007: $122 million
2006: $116.1 million
2005: $110.7 million
2004: $108.8 million
2003: $101.9 million

Gator fans, (fake canesrule you have given me a THOUSAND LAUGHS), let’s not flame over here. Seriously, let’s stay in our house and leave the canes to their house. Although making Nikki Meyer comments ANYWHERE is inappropriate, this is a CANE BLOG. Ignore the comments.

The key to making this work is for everyone, ESPECIALLY CANE FANS, to encourage CANESRULE TO STOP FLAMING. Yesterday was quiet but, as predicted, canesrule really can’t help himself.

“Dare I ask so how many time outs do you get per railroad crossing on the Randy express? 21-17 …….DaU couldn’t coach their way into the ACC Title game if they had a 22 member team of Tebows.”

I KNEW IT!

You sick freak, you PRETEND to want a truce, and then unload on here anyway. Again, you still haven’t shown the “report” about the University of Miami becoming a landfill, you still haven’t apologized for joking about the murders of Pata and Taylor, and you still have shown that your idea of a TRUCE is that you can attack all you want and we are supposed to be all sweet to you in response.

Too bad, you hypocrite. I have seen enough of you to know you wouldn’t honor your deal, as usual. Your mother must be so proud that on the day Wooden died, you used his name to CLAIM you wanted peace, but instead were just getting another laugh at how gullible the Canes fans were for taking you at your word.

Hang on a second, that wasn’t the truce. I have NO PROBLEM if a Gator FAN wants to come on here and discuss sports. It was that YOU would be gone.

npgator, or any of the other Gator FANS are welcome here. YOU with your disgusting jokes, lies, insults, hatred, changing names, fake IDs of Canes fans, and otherwise evil demeanor, are NOT. Your “truce was obviously a lie, from the master of lies.

Looks like a Miami @ Florida Super Regional Rematch. Should be good. Just too bad one team will have to go home while the other heads to Omaha… Both are really good Baseball Teams and deserve a shot in the Tourney…

I never proposed a truce, how about them Canes! Owning the Big 12 beisbol champs as little Mike Lawson smacks three out of the park in one game, after two dumb errors against Dartmouth.
Let’s go Canes!

real canesrule, you can post your comments HERE, but the retaliation we get from you making even a positive Canes comment on THERE is more than it’s worth. Their sick disgusting attacks on innocent murder victims would stop, your ID would no longer get spoofed, and we can discuss the beatdown the Canes gave A&M without wading through the BWAHAHAs and LMAOs of that disgusting liar troll who stil hasn’t provided that “report”, while I showed his school had laid off 580 people in two years.

So, PLEASE give it a couple of days of rest. I am SURE they will continue trolling here, (as we have seen) and you will have moral justification to retaliate in kind.

Cleveland I think this is like world peace, the only thing that works is mutual assured destruction.

We all realize that the fake canesrule, the fake Kehoe, Wooddork and a few other dozen characters are all the same troll, probably the Jay character who disappeared from these sites about 18 months ago when the other troll names began.
For example, yesterday I posted a little celebratory note on the Gaturd site, on getting two ESPN top 150 commits, and the reaction was immediate, the hatred this troll feels for Randy is beyond comprehension: might be racial, or it might be motivated by the usual numbers (28>26; 5>3; 4>0 and so on) or it may be due to the Troll’s damaged crack baby syndrome psyche, who knows?
Maybe its wrong, but I love getting a reaction from Turds Nation, so this truce thing I don’t know. I think its been tried before and violated.
Just for the record, I never said:

“canesrule 21 ’ships Says:
June 5th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
What do you say we give it a rest til August huh pal ?
Seriously … Please”

If this was said by the fake canesrule after his recent release from a mental health facility, then I commend on his progress, but the fact that he impersonated me makes me wonder what malevolent purpose he mad that proposal under.

I think good natured ribbing, of the type I usually engage in, and some of my best friends are Gaturds, is OK.

Wow! I just read some of the other comments and posts and this is just silly..can we talk about football? I happen to think the person known as gatornation makes good football points but most of you are just haters..Hopefully the Canes O-Line will come through this year..They are the key to greatness..GO CANES!

Cleveland, take a deep breath man. Truce or no truce, the vitriol has slowed WAYYY down. I know you’re convinced that we are all evil kitten stomping miscreants. Whatever man. Just try to get through Monday without going in the attack.

I did notice a Gator fan above posted some typical coach/conference mocking. I don’t think that really makes him a “sick freak” but sorry anyway. Aside from those somewhat stale and innocuous jabs, I don’t see Gator Nation over here burning cars. I and others have refrained from flaming UM sites. If you read the SUM of comments I think you’ll see that progress was quickly made.

I don’t have any illusions about attempting to influence cane fans to stop trashing UF. Just do it in your house and well do it on our house. The cross town ripping has almost stopped. YOU can make a difference.

Just like the cowards to call for a truce in a flame-war they can’t win on the merits. Time to move to a real part of the world jabronies, stop living in cow-town. Besides, can you see the troll making good on his free time between now and the most exciting day of the year in Gaineshell, opening weekend of football season? Neither do I.

Slowed down?

I have been accused of trolling other sites, my school was supposedly getting turned into a landfill and was bankrupt, and Pata and Taylor are appranetly topics of HUMOR for you. Then, you come in acting like you want a truce, which meant you would LEAVE, and you still come back. STOP POSTING HERE, that was the promise.

As I said, if npgator, or the other guys that Jesse and Riviera have seen come here without attacking, like Woodstrock and you and others like you, I have NO PROBLEM with that. But when you think a dead body is a chance to dance, you have no right to make demands in A CANES BLOG over how a CANES FAN reacts.

Gator fans, please do not post any flames here. Let the canes talk amongst thselves in peace in the same manner that we want to have at our sites. Resist the urge to take the cheap shots. Head back over to our turf.

Well, the Canes lost, so we can expect the usual taunts from the Gator trolls. Repostings of the famous nonexistent report, predictions of Canes fans from 2009, and jokes about dead Canes players are all on their playlist. Yeah, I know “Baby Canes”, “Excuse U”, etc, just save your breath, we have heard your disgusting comments all before. Just like the lie that no gator trolls have come on here or on the Sun Sentinel pages. ALL the usual suspects (Curse the multinamed murder-joking troll, Irrelevant, and fake canesrule) have been on with all their usual garbage.

However, we still have tomorrow as a second chance.

TAMU played strong today, no denying it, but we still scored seven. That is 21 against this team in two games. I won’t predict anything, because we KNOW how you sick monsters will twist anything said here, but I am not giving up yet.

How about them Canes! Owning Irrelevancy! But dare I say after dropping an 11-7 decision to A&M on Sunday, UM faces this reality: chumps in every major sport since joining DaACC.

UM coach Jim Morris appeared more upset by his team’s lack of fan support for Sunday’s game than he was by the loss to Texas A&M. Morris blamed the NCAA and ESPN for scheduling games during the afternoon, saying it’s “not our fans’ fault that it’s 100 degrees.” “Tomorrow night, people need to be here,” Morris said.

LLLLLLMMMMMMFFFFFFFAAAAAAOOOOOO!!!!

It’s also not our fans fault that they would rather be at the beach or go to a Heat game either………. righhhhhht! Just when I was beginning to believe that they demolsihed the Orange Bowl beacause our fanbase out grew it the reality of playing in “A REAL CITY” rears it’s ugly head.

Can’t we borrow some those plastic sheet seat covers from our leased stadium to hide the empty seats just like we do in foosball?

1. PEAKING AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME: If what we saw this weekend is any indication, then Kevin O’Sullivan has the Gators peaking at just the right time. What we saw in the Gainesville Regional was total domination as Florida did it with excellent pitching, great defense and tremendous hitting. In three NCAA Gainesville Regional games, the Gators outscored Bethune-Cookman, Oregon State and Florida Atlantic 32-5, outhit opponents 45-16, out-homered opponents 9-1 and didn’t commit a single error. There is only one word for that kind of performance and that’s domination.

2. THE GATORS ARE GOING TO BE A NATIONAL POWER FOR YEARS TO COME: O’Sullivan is proving to be another brilliant hire for Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, who seems to have the magic touch when it comes to hiring coaches who are relentless recruiters. O’Sullivan had a reputation as one of the best recruiters in the country when he was an assistant at Clemson. Now that he’s a head coach, he’s better than advertised. The Gators are built for the long haul, too. On any given night, they’ll start five freshmen and a couple of sophomores. The starting rotation is made up of two freshmen and a sophomore. Depending on what happens in the Major League Baseball Draft (Monday through Wednesday of this week), the Gators will further stack a roster that might be as good as there is in college baseball. This team is built for the long haul. Get used to the fact the Gators are going to be a national power for years to come.

June 6th, 2010 at 8:57 pm I predicted:
“Well, the Canes lost, so we can expect the usual taunts from the Gator trolls.”

June 6th, 2010 at 10:03 pm, only 1 hour and six minutes later, the name-changing murder-joking troll who likes to fill the web with LIES starts up his daily dose of trolling with”
“How about them Canes! Owning Irrelevancy!” etc, etc, etc.

Robert Heinlein quoted W. R. Inge in saying “It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.” I looked at the other sites on the list. Your ID says that “Steve Riviera” can say whatever insulting things he wants to a Canes fan on a Gator site even if they come in for a simple comment or a question, and then you come on HERE and DEMAND that I not defend the Canes on my own site from the kind of sick harrassment we have been forced to endure, like those jokes about Pata and Taylor. In other words, you want us to be sheep that don’t defend ourselves, while you get to be wolves feeding on the carcasses of the Herald, Sentinel, and Post sites.

“Soldy”, for example, has been good about not causing trouble lately, even if he is sticking with that name. I think it is becoming obvious though that these “wolves” want us to be “sheep”, where they can attack at will, and we are not allowed to defend ourselves in response. I visited the Gator Bytes blog one time in the past three monthx or so, and got accused that I “couldn’t resist” trolling by the guy that many view as the likely candidate for being fake canesrule. That is the worst possible “truce” we could have. Being good and turning the other cheek is all well and good, until we run out of cheeks.

Soldy, a generous thank you for showing class. My opinion of you has risen dramatically since you did not take the bait to attack Bridgewater for the INTs and actually agreed with a Canes fan, tough as that must be. The others, you are showing that you think we are just sheep to be tricked and taunted on one site, then unlike npgator and Soldy, not even ALLOWED to visit your site.

I have tried to trust you trolls multiple times, and each time you show your true colors and prove you cannot be trusted.

Still, no apology for joking about murder victims.
Still, no proof of this supposed UF engineering report showing that Miami is going to turn the University into a landfill.
Still, no honoring of the truce offered by a Canes fan and supposedly accepted by a Gator troll.

As for your question about FSU, Soldy, they were in the same situation as the Canes, facing a tired team in their second game of a double header, and unlike Miami they finished off Oregon for get to their Superregional. Oregon has only been doing baseball for two years, so for them to even get that far is quite an achievement.
